Sony Ericsson TM506 - amber (T-Mobile)

By (cnet.com)

The Sony Ericsson TM506 has a sleek, easy-to-use design with a brilliant display. Its functional feature set includes world 3G support, a camera, a music player, and Assisted GPS.

I have to charge this phone every day and a half. My wife got a Motorola NZine and she only charges it about once a week if that . I am very dissappointed because of the battery life and have to charge it three to four times a week.
